Looking for profile pic of martini bezel studs

[alloamie]

I want to re-do my current bezel studs that are set really high into something similar to the WF bezel martini.
Before considering sending them into WF, I''d like to visit some local jewelers to see if they can do it! I saw some nice pics the other day, but can''t find the threads!
I''m looking especially for profile pics.

Thanks!

You rock chickpea!

Random question - are they stretching your holes out at all? I always worry that the martini and bezel earrings with the pointy tripod back would settle into my holes and stretch it. Am I crazy?

hey gecko

i would say that they do not stretch my holes. i've worn them nearly every day since i got them, and with the backs on fairly tight, as i don't really care for a 'droopy' look. when i first take them out, the holes in my ears do look a bit more pronounced, but after the earrings have been out for an hour or so everything looks totally normal. so i guess it's more of an *indentation* than a stretching of the holes, kwim? the angle of the martini base is pretty wide, so it rests on the lobe without ever going into the hole. i think you'd really have to force those backs on super tight to do any permanent damage... hope that answers your question!


eta: thanks musey!
